Ah! your wrong about Barack and his band of DemoRats!
Here is his plan!
Obama is running for President of the USA or the World.
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN02433:@@@L&summ2=m&
Below is information on the only bill that Barack Obama sponsored in the Senate.S. 2433, The Global Poverty Act of 2007
Its a very costly bill giving away our Tax dollars to other nations so that we can equalize them with our standard of living.
Baracks Idea should be used here at home on the Southside of Chicago.
Being the Good community organizer he should focus on Our community and the US.
But instead he is flying around telling the world that Americans need to scrafice at home and dial back our thermostats to 80 degrees and drive smaller cars, That we need to eat less.
Yes, Barack we hear your message and need to repent our sins of being a successful nation by seeing that your Worldwide Welfare bill S.2433 is passed. So You can help they villge in Kenya. You promised the Kogelo Kids.
After all we are Americans and should equalize our wealth with the have not nations of the world.
S.2433
Title: A bill to require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.

He has done less than many of the illegal immigrants here in the US have done for their families in Mexico..or where ever. He would reply that he is working on the insane UN giveaway.
The tone of the foreign press seems to shift tonite.
Rush needs to hold a bake sale..a Barak Bake sale for Obama school.

of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day. Well, if you drop the value of a dollar tenfold, then everyone who had at least $0.10/day will have at least $1/day to live on.

Yeah, if Rush rolls quickly enough— or any radio host, they could blitz Dumbama before he has a chance to respond.
But on the other hand, perhaps the ‘Messiah’ is with them in spirit.
Mayhap the Messiah hath been aiding the school. Every now and then, they feel tingles run up their legs and know not why. His super-secret banking committee will send them breathalysers and inhilators in due course. But first, he has a problem to deal with. Upon his throne, he chants:
This is the moment. This is the moment. This IS the moment! This is the moment.

This village is a Preview of Coming Attractions for the rest of us. Barack Obama is making a lot of promises these days. They will be as realized as the promises he made to this broken down school.
It’s all about the “O”. These people are a stepping stone.

The market is where we head next to speak to villagers about their hopes for an Obama victory in November and what it might do for their village. Mary Manasse, 40, who runs the Mama Siste Mini Shop selling staples such as bread and cow’s milk (packaged in old Coke bottles) says she has a photograph of Obama shaking hands with her on his 2006 visit.
“Back then I was looking after 40 orphans at the orphan centre,” she recalls. “We faced a desperate shortage of money and Obama told us that he especially liked special, dedicated projects like ours and wanted to help. We thought he would give funds to help our project but we got nothing. A few months later we were forced to shut down the orphan centre because of lack of funds. Just a million Kenyan shillings [£6,000] would have kept us going another year. I feel disappointed that he did not come through.”
